Wow. Interesting. I was kind of thinking of Brueghel (as well as my daily experiences). Here's my guess: it has kind of a Dickensian bounce to it (which is similar to the Brueghel bounce) and it also has his grotesquerie and the third line, which is meant to twist the mood in a sardonic way, is like the satirical undertow in his novels. So I'm hoping you were thinking more in the Dickensian line than, say, of Gaskell or Trollope.

Why does this make me think of Victorian novels (which I love)?
